Wooded Landscape with Saint Dominic is a 1626 oil by Lucas Achtschellinck, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Groeningemuseum.
This painting shows a wooded landscape with a figure of Saint Dominic sitting on the right side. The landscape is filled with tall trees, a stream, and a cloudy sky. The scene is depicted in dark colors, with the only light coming from the sky. In the foreground, Saint Dominic is shown sitting on a rock, reading a book. The trees and foliage around him are dense and lush, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a dramatic effect, with the contrast between light and dark drawing the viewer's eye to the figure of Saint Dominic.
